From the Editor's Desk
I hate the weather in Texas this year! We've always been plagued by
changeable weather, but this year seems quite extreme. Within the space
of one week we can have below freezing temperatures followed a day
later by 78° temperatures, (as we have today!) Of course it always
seems to be freezing with ice on the roads when we are supposed to go
somewhere! And everybody I meet is suffering with coughs and sore
throats. My kids have both missed school because of it. It's difficult
to know what to wear in the morning, since the weather could be
completely different by the evening. I had to laugh at Handsome Husband
the other day as he left the house in his one-piece thermal underwear,
since if the weather warmed up too much he'd have had a devil of a time
getting that thing off without exposing all! On the extreme jobs
front... Hmmmm. I keep wondering in a hopeful sort of way how our
global recession is going to affect the travel jobs market. In many
cases, of course, jobs will dry up. They will have to because lots of
people are losing their jobs, and simply will not have the extra income
to travel. Therefore, my guess is that some of the adventure travel
jobs will dry up as well. That doesn't mean you shouldn't keep trying
for these jobs, but the competition is going to get stiffer. Take the
time to update and improve your c.v. or resume, and be sure to
highlight your strong points. Formatting is always important when you
submit a resume, and shows that you have an eye for detail, and care
about the impression you make on your potential employers. You'd be
amazed how many people miss this simple step in the job hunting process! In
a quick search online, I discovered one site that appears to have a
good selection of current hospitality industry and travel related jobs.

you. I even found a "Travel Nursing" website for you... http://www.travelnursing.com/ . Meanwhile,
we've begun to cook for the holidays, and the kids are out of school. I
say, "Let the festivities begin!" May you and yours have a wonderful
Winter Solstace, Soyaluna, DongZhi, Christmas, Chanukah, Kwanzaa, New
Year's Eve, and Three Kings Day. (Choose the most appropriate holiday
or holidays for you!) Our staff are:
